30 Jun Alecia & Akeen {Planters Inn}
When mutual friends set up Alecia and Akeen to watch the New Orleans Saints play the Carolina Panthers it was instant chemistry. Fast forward to Akeen popping the question, and Alecia knew she wanted to wed here in Charleston almost as surely as she wanted to say “Yes!” With Southern charm reminiscent of NOLA, the bride’s home for the past nine years, and an East Coast location that made it easy for her Jamaican family to travel to, the Holy City was a perfect fit for the Big Day. Blair Still of Mingle incorporated Alecia’s love of teal and coral throughout the shindig at Planters Inn with breathtaking florals by Branch Design Studio, custom pillows on Snyder lounges, and more. So pretty! From beginning to end I am in love with this courtyard wedding. (Check out the courtyard the next time you’re downtown; it sits between the hotel’s famed Peninsula Grill restaurant and a wing of rooms and is a gorgeous spot just off the beaten path right next to the City Market.) Cheers to the happy couple and thank you for selecting Charleston as the city to start your marriage in.
